Earlier this year, we did a major shelving switcharoo. The two white shelves from Preston's bedroom closet went to my brother's apartment, so the two floating shelves from our kitchen went to Preston's bedroom and a spare single white floating shelf took their place. So this year, our display had one less shelf to play with, and this is what we ended up with:

A peek at the sweetness head on?

I decided to stick with tradition and use items from around the home to dress things up a bit for the holiday season.

The frames were cheapo frames I had hoarded awhile back for a future gallery wall project. I just placed some gold snowflake gift wrap in each one and added vinyl "25" numbers to the fronts.

All of the "trees" on the shelves, were cardstock paper rolled up and strings of beads {$2 each from Target} hot glued around the outside.

It is so much fun to look back and see how the shelving displays have changed and evolved from year to year. And after Christmas comes and goes, it always sparks a restyle on the shelves for spring, which gets me all warm and fuzzy inside just thinking about it now....

Let's chat Christmas decor one last time. Do you create vignettes and displays and have fun getting creative with them from year to year? What do you DIY and what to do you splurge on?

I am dying! So beautiful and so simple! I'm usually a grinch so we are really lacking in the Christmas decor department. I am so stealing your ideas (for some reason my heart grew three sizes this year)!

You've done it again! Absolutely beautiful and so magical with the candles lit. I love the colors you've chosen to use. The classic red and green are always great, but using these bright unexpected colors adds a whole new cheerful element to the celebration. Fantastic!XO,Tamar & The Ladies Holiday team

This s beautiful, so original and colourful and at the same time nice and simple. I definitely need to get a beautiful cake stand like yours so that next year I can fill it with shiny decorations. Thanks fit the inspiration!

Oh yes, I create little vignettes around the house, even in the bathroom. Just get out my big box of ornaments and get to work with what I have adding some nice ribbons in different colors or the paper cone/Christmas tree you showed! Thanks! :)

Do you need another floating shelf?? I have one of the IKEA ones like the white one you put in your dining. I think it is the 6ft. one. Let me know. I don't need it. We have done some switching around and don't have a place for it anymore. My email: theunruhs@sbcglobal.net
